Five Steez & Son Raw release new single "The General"
Hardworking Jamaican rapper Five Steez is currently working on a collaborative project with Montreal-based producer Son Raw but in the interim, he shares their new single "The General". The song is bolstered by a cinematic texture and brooding guitar licks laced over military-styled drum fills.
DJ Kay Slay, who passed away on Monday, was an era-spanning innovator who never shied away from competition.
When I was a teenager, I would spend a few days in NYC with my dad every summer, as a father-son tradition that I remember fondly. We liked to do a lot of the same things (see shows, eat A TON of food, explore the city on long walks simply because we loved being back there so much)....but the one thing that only I enjoyed about our annual trip, was my hunt for mixtapes and late night mix shows on Hot 97 (we were living near Philly at the time, just a little too far to pick up Hot 97′s radio waves).
It was a beautiful time for hip-hop - especially in New York - and the Drama King was definitely vital to my new music discoveries at that point. Be it new Slay tapes right off of Canal Street, or his after-midnight radio show, there were countless debuts of new songs that I still listen to on a semi-regular basis to this very day.
R.I.P. DJ Kay Slay...thank you for the memories. 🙏

The Council of The Gods complete the mission on 'Trilogy'
Jamaican super hip-hop collective The Council of The Gods is back with a brand new project entitled Trilogy. The aptly titled 8 track project is a pure display of lyrical prowess delivered on wax by Five Steez, Nomad Carlos, and The Sickest Drama over cinematic soundscapes provided by Time Cow,
The homey Son Raw just released a new beat tape with the premise “What if a beatmaker/critic who routinely mocks the past 40 years of rock music, made a rock album?” That sounds right up my alley (aside from the shot at punk rock, of course).
Son Raw is rocking a Public Enemy shirt and outrunning the Terminator. Dubstep’s best producers now lord over the “genre” from above, releasing Earth shattering missives while lesser beatmakers resort to gnarly dance music for candy kids. Burial’s Kindred EP... #dubstep #shackleton #sonraw
